Walk the trail

A great bike ride has also become a great walk for many, in fact 30% of the trails use is enjoyed by runners and walkers. A few km at a time to half day and full day walks are popular. We often get asked "How long will it take to walk a section?" There are no simple rules for walking times, but as a rough guide we estimate 15-20min per km. Of course, some people are faster and others prefer to take a more leisurely pace and also depending on the sections being walked.The only areas we recommend you don't walk are the on road sections just north of Mangakino Lakefront and the Lake Arapuni Road section. The remainder of the trail has plenty of capacity for everyone to enjoy.
